Assembling the Leadpipe
(Sousaphone only)
The sousaphone uses a multi-piece leadpipe.
This leadpipe in combination with a bit allows
the player to adjust the mouthpiece to a com-
fortable position to best fit individual needs.
1.
Apply some slide grease to the middle sec-
tion of the leadpipe and then insert it into
the leadpipe receiver. Next, tighten the
screw on the receiver to secure the middle
pipe in place.

Assembling the Marching Tuba

The leadpipe on one of the marching series tuba
models can be switched to convert the instru-
ment between marching use and regular con-
cert use. (An “M” at the end of the product num-
ber indicates a marching series tuba.)
1.
Loosen screws A and B to remove the regu-
lar concert leadpipe, then attach the march-
ing leadpipe and tighten screws A and B.

bits. Both can be connected together if
necessary.

of the instrument and use screw E to adjust
